Can you present your company in a few words?
Carmignac is an independent asset management firm established in 1989 on three core principles that still stand true today: entrepreneurial spirit, human-driven insight, and active commitment. We are both active managers and active partners, committed to our clients, providing transparency on our investment decisions and will always be accountable for them. The "skin in the game" or alignment of interests as we practice it, means sharing the same objectives and the same risks with our clients. With a capital entirely held by the Carmignac family and staff, Carmignac is today a recognised asset manager in Europe, with more than 300 employees and 34 nationalities operating from seven different offices. Today, as throughout our history, we are committed to try harder and better to actively manage our clients’ savings over the long-term.What are the new challenges and opportunities that you identify?
We believe it is key to bring innovation to our clients in this competitive environment. That’s why we have created an Investment Solution team made of our experts in creating and managing tailor-made, one-stop shop solutions for our investors and distribution partners. They engage with each of our clients to understand and address their specific needs and provide them creative solutions, capitalizing on Carmignac’s investment management skills as well as robust operational and regulatory controls. This also offers great opportunities in the Benelux market. In the context of more remote working, we have adapted our ways of working to our client’s needs. Every day, we challenge our-self to offer attractive events to our clients and prospects. It has been a challenge to attract clients physically to our events due to the Covid virus. Our sales and marketing team delivered the best possible service to them to find the best suitable way to address their clients.
